Production of CO₂-blown polyether-based foams

Since being introduced in 1995, the patented NOVAFLEX^® technology has established itself as an industry standard in the continuous production of slabstock. Today, over 100 NOVAFLEX^® systems are in use across the world. The technology replaces standard blowing agents such as CFCs or methylene chloride with CO₂. It thus not only makes sense from an ecological point of view but also in terms of cost since CO₂ is considerably less expensive than other blowing agents and in additon has a higher blowing effect. And there are no disadvantages when it comes to quality: NOVAFLEX^® foams distinguish themselves through their particularly fine-celled and uniform pore structure. The result is excellent even with flexible foams that have a low density of 14-15 kg/m³.
